On some systems, EFI variables are not supported or otherwise wonky.
bootctl attempting to access them causes failures during bootloader
installations and updates. For such systems, NixOS provides the options
`boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables` and
`boot.loader.systemd-boot.graceful` which pass flags to bootctl that
change whether and how EFI variables are accessed.
Previously, these flags were only passed to bootctl during an install
operation. However, they also apply during an update operation, which
can cause the same sorts of errors. This change passes the flags during
update operations as well to prevent those errors.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/151336
The build of initrd-secrets can routinely fail for old boot entries
if the secrets have been removed or renamed in a later generation.
This always happens for generation 1, because it's built from the
NixOS installer and the paths differs by the mount point (i.e. /mnt).
The error is very confusing because it fails to mention it's about
an older generation and that it's somewhat harmless.
This commit turns the error into a warning for all generations but the
current, adds the name of the failed entry to the message and a note
explaining why it can happen.
apparently pandoc has changed behavior over the past releases, so the
files are no longer in sync. occasionally this requires edits
to the markdown source to not remove an anchor that was there
before (albeit wth a very questionable id), or where things were simply
being misrendered due to syntax errors.
This reverts commit da905d4cf9.
See the commit linked above for further information on why this was
needed. Apparently this is not needed anymore because the need for
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (which is needed for `modprobe(8)` to find
`libpthread.so.0`) doesn't exist anymore.
Since d33e52b253 the library path of each
binary in extra-utils is patched correctly.
nixos-enter sets up /etc/resolv.conf as a bind mount from the host
system, so trying to activate a system that sets
`environment.etc."resolv.conf"` (e.g. with systemd-resolved enabled)
results in an unhelpful warning.
Skip linking /etc/resolv.conf if we're in a nixos-enter environment, as
determined by the IN_NIXOS_ENTER environment variable.
Make the warnings more helpful, indicating which file we failed to link.
Unlink temporary files in case of failure.
That version has a regression that leaves some machines unbootable.
While we wait for the fix (252.2) to land in master, this is a workaround that
should save people some pain.
To reduce size, stage 1 (the initrd) is populated by copying specific
binaries in, then copying the libraries specifically needed by those
binaries. `patchelf` is then used to make the binaries search in the
directory where these libraries are copied to instead of their original
store paths.
Some filesystems (e.g. ZFS) do not guarantee that copying the same files
in the same order into a given directory will result in `find` returning
them in any particular order (though the order appears consistent so
long as the directory is not modified).
Therefore, when the binaries are scanned for libraries to copy in, they
might be scanned in a different order each time the derivation is built.
If two binaries need two different libraries with the same name, then a
different instance of the library might be copied in first, changing the
derivation contents and breaking reproducibility.
This turns out to be the case with `libudev.so.1` from both `systemd`
(needed by e.g. `mdadm`) and `systemdMinimal` (needed by e.g.
`dmsetup`). This issue is fixed by sorting the list of binaries to be
scanned instead of relying on filesystem order so that the same instance
always gets seen and copied first.
Both before this change (at least on ext4) and after this change
(without any options that affect stage 1), this is the `libudev.so.1`
from `systemdMinimal` by way of `dmsetup`. Whether this is appropriate
and how much the two different systemd configurations and udev libraries
need to be involved is a topic left for future work.
We separate the different steps (injecting the toplevel and injecting
the specialisations) so that it's easy to document what each snippet is
actually doing.
Yes I know it's dirty to link the rendered HTML, but linking
`#sec-kernel-config` breaks the manual build for me with the following
error:
element link: validity error : IDREF attribute linkend references an unknown ID "sec-kernel-config"
This is something that should probably be fixed, but for the current
change I'd argue that this is good enough (in fact even the
`nix.settings`-option uses that hack).
- The default cipher is BF-CBC, which openvpn refuses to use by default.
Switched to AES-256-CBC.
- openvpn does not require an external "ip" executable anymore, and does
not support the "ipconfig" option by default, so remove that option.
When no interfaces are managed by systemd-networkd, it will
unconditionally fail. This option allows it to be disabled in those
situations where it prevents system switches from succeeding.
The placement of this option under `nix` was misleading, as it is not
configuration of the Nix daemon, but rather configuration of the NixOS
boot process and how it mounts the Nix store. As such, make it an option
of `boot` to clarify what it actually affects, and imply that it will
only take effect on a reboot.
Since it no longer has the context of nix, adjust the name to include
it.
Or else systemd-oomd gets marked as failed due to
"Userspace Out-Of-Memory (OOM) Killer was skipped because of a failed condition check (ConditionControlGroupController=v2)."
and cause the system to enter degraded state.

mountFS adds these strings to fstab and then relies on `mount` parsing fstab. If
they have spaces or tabs in them, that would break fstab and therefore not mount
with the unhelpful error: No such file or directory.

Replaces the `dhcpV6PrefixDelegationConfig` with
`dhcpPrefixDelegationConfig` and throws an error if the old option is
used.
Also adapt the respective IPv6 prefix delegation test.
Before this patch, the entry match condition always fails, causing all
entries being removed. The error is not noticed because later they are
re-generated.
Before this patch, the gen_number found by regex contains
"-specialisation-foo" if specialisation is used. As a result, applying
int() to gen_number raises ValueError, causing entries containing
a specialisation part not being removed.
most of these are hidden because they're either part of a submodule that
doesn't have its type rendered (eg because the submodule type is used in
an either type) or because they are explicitly hidden. some of them are
merely hidden from nix-doc-munge by how their option is put together.
conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running
nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix
the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.
mostly no rendering changes. some lists (like simplelist) don't have an
exact translation to markdown, so we use a comma-separated list of
literals instead.
most of the screen tags used in option docs are actually listings of
some sort. nsd had a notable exception where its screen usage was pretty
much a raw markdown block that made most sense to convert into docbook lists.
the way these are written they introduce lots of whitespace in each
line, which will cause those lines to render as code when converted to
markdown. override the whole description instead.
